Thats is a really fine arch. I really like the radial bricks of the columns too. I to am fasinated with brick arches and other masonary detail work. I am planning to construct my garage of brick and plan to include arches in some for over the doors and windows. Thanks for sharing.

Sure thing. Im up in Indiana near a small town of Cutler. I thought it would last alot longer if it would be made of brick instead of wood frame and siding. My garage that is. Im in no hurry and plan to do it myself with the help of my teenage sons. I want the garage to have a brick railroad civil war era kinda look to it.
